San Antonio’s Code for America Fellows Create “Homebase” App

Since January, the Code for America fellowship team has worked with the City of San Antonio.

The team made up of Maya Benari, David Leonard and Amy Mok have met with citizens and city officials. They spent a few months here working and then went back to San Francisco to complete their project.

Now they’ve completed an early version of it and they want citizens in San Antonio to test it. They’ve created an app, Homebase, that makes it easier for homeowners to make home improvements in cooperation with the City of San Antonio. They’ve tested the app with homeowners. It streamlines the home building permit process and lets homeowners easily apply for building permits.

The Code for America team wants more people to try the Homebase app and give them feedback, according to Benari.
